Detectives ask public’s help in Columbia City robberies

On Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023, at approximately 4:30 p.m., a woman and a man drove up to the female victim as she was exiting her vehicle in the 3800 block of South Juneau Street. The man exited from the front passenger side of the car and pointed a gun at the victim. The female remained in the driver’s seat.

The male suspect demanded the victim give him her purse. The victim complied in fear of being shot. After obtaining the purse from the victim, both suspects left the area in the vehicle.
